Description
A breathtakingly complete and majestic entertaining ensemble, this vintage 20-piece Italian Murano-style liqueur and wine service captures the theatrical romance of mid-century Venetian luxury. Masterfully executed in a deep, dramatic amethyst purple art glass, each vessel serves as an individual canvas for opulent 22K gold gilt filigree overlays.
The cordial shot glasses shift the narrative to an old-world Italian tour, showcasing detailed, hand-applied gilded cityscapes of Venice, complete with historical domes, architectural facades, and floating gondolas.
The crowning decanter acts as the theatrical centerpiece, anchoring the collection with an exquisite, large-scale gilded vignette of a Renaissance courtly man and woman courting alongside classical scrolls. It is beautifully finished with a dense, brilliant gold-dipped collar and capped by its original, sharply faceted "ice cube" geometric crystal stopper.
An extraordinary, curated find for the modern bar cart, an eclectic dining landscape, or any host dedicated to the fine art of elegant entertaining.
Dimensions & Set Inclusions (20 Total Pieces)
1 Lidded Decanter: 9.00 inches tall (including geometric stopper)
12 Tall Wine Goblets: 7.75 inches tall
7 Footed Shot Glasses: 2.75 inches tall
Origin: Venice, Italy (Murano Style / Attribution)
Period: Mid-20th Century (Circa 1960s / 1970s)
Styles: Venetian, Hollywood Regency, Baroque, Art de la Table
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Excellent vintage condition, beautifully preserved across all 20 matching pieces. The amethyst art glass maintains a brilliant clarity and deep, rich uniform color tone with no structural cracks or restorations. True to its age and celebratory history, there is minimal fading of the golden rim on a few of the shot and wine glasses, as well as a tiny chip on the sharp corner of the ice-cube-like geometric stopper for the decanter. The intricate 22K gold filigree and scenic vignettes remain remarkably bright and intact throughout the rest of the ensemble. The clear swirled stems are sturdy and clean, and the heavy faceted stopper still sits flush, secure, and presents beautifully inside the decanter neck
